Xbox One sales hit 3 million in 2013

Following on from the news in 2013 that Xbox One had sold two million units in only eighteen days, and on the back of Microsoft’s somewhat erroneous claims that the console had also become the fastest seller for the month of November 2013, Microsoft’s Yusuf Mehdi has announced another milestone for Xbox.

According to the corporate vice president of marketing, strategy and business at Xbox, Xbox One managed to sell three million units to consumers by the end of 2013, while “demand for Xbox One has been strong, selling out throughout the holidays at most retailers worldwide,” Mehdi wrote.

“We also love that you are seeing the promise of an all-in-one entertainment system,” Mehdi continued. “Millions of hours of live TV have been watched and millions of hours of app entertainment have been enjoyed. We are proud to have the most passionate, engaged, and simply the best fans in the world. It was fun to share the holidays with so many of you.”

Have you so far contributed to the worldwide sales success of Xbox One, or are you still waiting your turn to buy the console later in 2014?
